Chickens absolutely love compost. They love digging around collecting big fat juicy worms to scoff. It’s amazing watching them slurp up these humungous worms swallowing them whole. While doing this they are turning the compost, so you end up with lovely compost after a few weeks and you can start to grow your own plants. Our chickens spend most of there day there, even when we let them out into the whole garden. You always see one of my chickens scratching around there in the day. It’s a beautiful sight to behold.

I have 6 chickens. They are all pekin bantams and they are all different, I have a white sussex bantam hen, right now she has gone broody so she dosen’t lay any eggs . She was not happy having this picture taken she looks very fat in this photo but when they sit in the nest box all day there feathers plump up and some of it is probably fat for being lazy.
